    We have been struggling using google drive to upload our photos. Imagine every time we want to upload an album. Really wasting my time by doing so.

    Also, it would be great feature to enable comments (or at least caption) for each file/photo. Thanks

    It's actually laughable how far behind Google Drive this nonsense is.

    The sad part is that you still have clients.

    You guys could also implement this feature in Android app version. It is a huge waste of time to select files one by one

    Previously somebody said :

    “I don't think the reason is that they can't do it, but they don't want to do it! It is a way to prevent us from moving to another cloud service. I have been trying for days to download all my contents, but gave up multiple times because it is so arduous. I have automatic photo and video upload from my and my wife's phone to Onedrive and was thinking of switching to Amazon (I am already paying for it- Prime membership). They know even if I stop uploading to Onedrive, the existing contents will still be there and I will keep paying for it to prevent losing it! Bad customer service, but they are underestimating my resolve to get rid of them :)”

    Good point, is Microsoft trying to mess around with us? When they are not gonna fix this within a few months I am gone. Hopefully everybody else to. Please look this has bin posted in 2015!!

    Here exactly the same. I can’t understand they not introduce this straight away. So the developers are also spending 10minutes selecting a few holiday pictures. They should do some real work Instead

    Hi there, I love everything about the app. The only problem is manual selection. Why can I not select multiple images at once? Or albums? I have to spend 10 minutes each time selecting hundreds of photos to upload. Would love to see this new feature soon!

    It is amazing that it is 2019 now and such a modern app is lack of such feature. Where is the basic human right of Onedrive.

    Being able to select all items in the recycle bin rather than having to select each one individually would be a real bonus.

    Why are we still asking for this. im on android and cannot use the app to anage files since it only works well in windows. When is this fixed???

  • Marcos commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    very difficult to deal with it. all my picutres a duplicated and I believe due the large amount of date i´m been unble to use the delete duplicate apps ... so i´m trying to download it all and work on it offline. what would you suggest? we i have 30k picutes.

    For iOS: Change the view to a grid instead of a list. Press and hold the file you wish to move and when you release, all files should have a selection icon in the corner. You should then be able to select multiple files, hit the 3-dot icon in the top right corner of the OneDrive App and select "Move", then click through your options to get to the folder you wish to move your files to and click "Move" once more, then you're done!

  • Lisa Youngblood commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Not certain this would work for iOS but when at a desktop:
    If you change the "View" option of the folder containing the folders you want to move to view as "Tiles" then you can choose all those that you want to move by clicking the upper right corner of the folders you want and then choose "Move" and choose to which library on the right side of the screen. I literally just did this and it worked fine. Be sure your timeout settings don't limit your capability. Hope this helps.

    Agree/ this would make it much easier and more efficient to manage and delete files from the trash bin too.
